Measure Y Evaluation

Measure Y legislation requires a professional of how well policing and violence prevention services are implemented. Three percent (3%) of the Measure Y funds are dedicated to violence prevention and police services are budgeted for evaluation. The Oakland City Administrator’s Office oversees the contract administration of the Measure Y evaluation. A collaboration led by Resource Development Associates and Gibson and Associates won a competitive process to evaluate Measure Y. You can find their reports on the Evaluation page.

The City Administrator’s Office oversees the coordination of the overall Measure Y implementation. This includes staffing the Oversight Committee and serving as the contract administrator for the Measure Y evaluation. For more information on Oversight and Evaluation, contact:
